Seeing the crowd rise and applaud, I never imagined that would happen, Pogba told reporters. I'm relieved to be playing football again, the thing I love most in the world. But there's still work to do to get back to full fitness and be able to play 90 minutes If I don't perform well at Monaco, I can forget about the French national team. I believe in myself and in my qualities, and since I knew I had done nothing wrong and it was not my fault, I never lost hope.

I think we were the much better team through the whole game. We didn't create that many chances but in the end, we have the right momentum in the game. We reacted well in the second half and we always have to believe that we can score goals and turn a game around and that's what we showed.

The Thunder trailed by as many as 18 points in the first half; their 32-point win was the largest by any team that trailed by 15 or more point in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98). It was also Oklahoma City's second-largest comeback win this season, after they trailed the Memphis Grizzlies by 19 points on Nov. 9. The Thunder improved to 5-0 when trailing by double digits, the only team without a loss in such games.

Even though the Cleveland Cavaliers were missing three All-Stars (to the Miami Heat's two), they powered through the Heat late and secured a 130-116 win on Wednesday. Miami played its worst stretch of basketball over the final 16 minutes, scoring just 24 points while shooting just 31.0 percent from the floor. As a result, Cleveland fought back from a 14-point third-quarter deficit and pounced on the reeling Heat.

December 18, 2015: The Toronto Marlies find themselves trailing 3-0 after 42 minutes on the road against a rolling Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins team. A wild, highly improbable comeback unfolds as Toronto scores three shorthanded goals in 2:34 before winning the game in a shootout. Roll forward almost 10 years, and the Marlies mounted a comeback as miraculous and impressive. Funny enough, it came during the same week the big club erased a 3-0 third-period deficit against the Penguins' parent franchise.

Sunderland's unbeaten start in the Premier League at the Stadium of Light continued as Granit Xhaka's deflected strike earned a 1-1 draw with Everton on Monday. The Black Cats' captain got the equaliser just 42 seconds after the break, cancelling out Iliman Ndiaye's stunning first-half goal. James Garner drilled wide with just 12 seconds on the clock, before Ndiaye broke the deadlock 15 minutes in.

In the last of our 'Vintage Veteran' series, veteran ex-Mayo netminder David Clarke reveals what keeps him going It's been a week since Ballina Stephenites produced the mother and father of all comebacks to capture a Mayo SFC three-in-a-row, and David Clarke's voice is still showing some of the effects of it. This one is really being savoured, and it came about in the most unlikely of circumstances, so the former Mayo goalkeeper enjoyed every second.

They just thought the way Steph was going, with Jimmy out there, we were going to score," Kerr said. "That was my biggest concern: Can we execute? And they just reminded me: We have Steph and Jimmy. They'll find a way to score. And they did. It was fantastic to watch the defense with that kind of size and length.

Liverpool ended a run of four-straight defeats in ruthless fashion, coming from behind to dismantle Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday. Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konte, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai all found the net as Arne Slot's side bounced back from a 2-1 defeat to rivals Manchester United in style. Slot made five changes to the side following the loss at Anfield on Sunday, with Mohamed Salah among those dropped to the bench.

We fought to the end,

PSG struck after just six minutes when Barcola slotted the ball past Mike Penders after a neat pass from Desire Doue, but the latter's brother Guela provided the assist for Strasbourg's equaliser as his cross was headed in by Panichelli. Julio Enciso was causing a lot of problems for the hosts, first being denied by Lucas Chevalier and then hitting the side-netting.

The Danish league leaders had dominated last week's first leg and travelled to Petershill Park with a slender lead, but it is City who will enter Friday's draw after winning 5-3 on the night and progress 6-5 on aggregate. It means Leanne Ross' Scottish league leaders join the likes of Inter Milan, Sporting and Eintracht Frankfurt, who have also won their second qualifying round ties, in Friday's draw for the next stage.

It may not have been a defining moment for Aikman, but it was a significant one for the quarterback and team. The same may one day be said about Bryce Young and the 2-3 Panthers, who head into Sunday's game against the 2-2-1 Cowboys ( 1 p.m. ET, Fox) after a seemingly improbable 27-24 victory against the Miami Dolphins at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday.

"For sure, as confident as I've ever been," Prescott said. "Yeah, I would say I am, and I mean I think I'm just going right off of the heels of the experience. I think that's why every year I feel like I've gotten better, making strides and never getting complacent in every part of my game. "I know sometimes the numbers and things don't always show that, but I think right now they are."

Lazar Samardzic and Mario Pasalic were on target as Atalanta produced a late comeback to beat Club Brugge 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday. Christos Tzolis' well-executed opener had the visitors ahead by the break at New Balance Arena but Brugge were denied making it two wins from two in the league phase as the hosts fought back to rebound from a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.

On Sept. 1, Detroit owned a 10.5-game lead over the Guardians and was listed at -20,000 to win their division at ESPN BET, meaning a bettor would have to risk $20,000 on Detroit to win just $100. A spokesperson for ESPN BET said the sportsbook did take "a few bets" on the Tigers at that price but declined to provide specifics. The Guardians were 80-1 to win the division entering September.

So the game-tying sequence in the final seconds of the fourth quarter was fitting: Down three with 20 seconds remaining, the Mercury came out of a timeout and got a decent look for guard Sami Whitcomb, who missed badly. But her teammates kept the possession alive to give her a second chance as the game clock hit single digits, and the results were better this time.

What the win means for Phoenix They say a series doesn't start until the home team loses. If that's the case, the semifinals between the Mercury and Lynx have officially begun -- and in epic fashion. Phoenix became just the fifth team in WNBA playoff history to come back from a 20-point deficit. And now the series is tied 1-1.

In a town where you can make your own luck or can sink further into an abyss, Mater Dei High dug deep, wiped away memories from a loss last week and answered a gut-check call to come away with a 27-24 road victory over Bishop Gorman on Friday night. Coach Raul Lara brought up the word "resurrection" during a postgame huddle with his players.

On Sept. 18, 2006, the Los Angeles Dodgers put together one of the greatest comebacks in franchise and Major League Baseball. Against the San Diego Padres, the Dodgers combined for four consecutive solo home runs to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning. Nomar Garciaparra capped off the improbable series of events with a walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th.

Ange Postecoglou, hands rooted in pockets, was still shaking his head in disbelief as he walked on to the pitch at the final whistle with What a Beautiful Day, an unofficial anthem in these parts, blaring over the speakers. Swansea had just completed an incomprehensible comeback to advance to the Carabao Cup fourth round at Nottingham Forest's expense, the hosts scoring twice in the final four minutes of second-half stoppage time.

Napheesa Collier made a go-ahead 18-footer with 1:24 left on the way to 24 points, and the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx rallied from a 17-point, third-quarter deficit to beat the Golden State Valkyries 75-74 on Wednesday night and move on in the WNBA playoffs. Collier shot 10 for 16 and followed up her 20-point performance in Game 1 with a 14-point second half to bring her team back - and give the Lynx another chance to keep chasing that championship they just missed last year.
